I've managed to unearth from some dusty archives and mouldy, moth-eaten records a few Amiga pics of unreleased footy game Arsenal FC. Thalamus was supposed to release it in late '92, but it went into receivership. Unfortunately, Arsenal FC along with a bunch of other Amiga games (SUB, Nobby the Aardvark, Restrictor, Street Warriors, Delta Patrol) went down the gurgler at the same time, with Thalamus leaving behind not so much as a demo of any of the game titles to be savoured (or ridiculed, as the case may be!) by the Amiga masses.

Curiously, the Arsenal FC titlescreen was in HAM6 format and previews said the game was going to include a lot of static HAM6 screens.......but I only found the one in the Thalamus archive I got the pics from.

Anyway, I've updated the HOL entry of Arsenal FC, so have a looksy at the little-seen before pics of this Amiga game for yourself:

Pompey (aka Portsmouth FC) are the only Premiership team that matters. I got married there (the stadium) nearly a year ago to my GAWJUSS wife who is a huge Pompey fan. I never even tolerated football before I met her. My sports used to have to have a certain amount of violence and agression so boxing or rugby really.

For the life of me, I just can't remember Scoopex releasing this demo. Wonder where they got it from because Thalamus never released any magazine coverdisk slideshows or playable demos. The pics I found for HOL a few years back were from a slideshow preview that I found on an obscure PD disk. Anyway, thanks again......now I can grab a few more screenshots for the HOL entry!
